Reportedly, Sidharth has already started scripting for the project, which is expected to start rolling by the end of August. According to the sources, Mohanlal turned down Sidharth's offer, due to his busy schedule.

Recently, Jayasurya had posted a selfie with Sidharth Bharathan in his timeline, hinting a collaboration with the director. The audiences and media are excited about Jayasurya and Sidharth's collaboration.

Reportedly, Sidharth Bharathan is also planning to direct another project, with Dileep in the lead role. But, it will commence only after the director completes the Jayasurya movie.
